President Obama on Tuesday sent Congress a long-awaited plan for closing the Guantánamo Bay prison, beginning a final push to fulfill a campaign promise and one of his earliest national security policy goals in the face of deep skepticism from many Republican lawmakers.
Congress required Mr. Obama to present a plan as part of the most recent defense authorization bill, and its basic approach echoed the strategy the administration has already been pursuing for seven years. It centers on bringing between 30 and 60 detainees who are deemed too dangerous to release to a prison on domestic soil, while transferring the remaining 91 detainees to other countries.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the second these slime arrive in the US they get full constitutional rights.
Speedy trial, free lawyers, miranda rights, etc etc

That’s a good guess, or, specific Guantanamo inmates are needed to be freed so that some large plan can be carried out.
I saw Barry’s speech and he was very insistent that the right time is NOW to do this, like there is a schedule.
Any Congressman seeking reelection come November better be very careful on how they vote regarding Gitmo and anything else. The American people are in a very bad mood right now, ya think?
Those in DC who don’t want to support the American people would be wise to order their packing boxes today and start packing early. Just my opinion, what’s yours?
That is what I have heard. If those Guantanamo terrorists get sent to a U.S. prison attorneys will get them out of jail quickly. Habeas Corpus. Mpst of them cannot be tried without giving classified information to the enemy. They will probably be released in our country and go on welfare.
Where the sun don’t shine!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOA or else...
And if they don’t, their terror buddies will get them out,and it won’t be legally.
The arguments for closing Gitmo as presented today by Obama were so full of holes that I’ll bet even the Rio Linda drop outs could see thru them.

Obama wants them in us prisons so they can recruit

Does the “plan” contain the inevitable stage when 0 decides to cede the land back to the Castros, since it will no longer be needed for the prison?
You nailed it from my perspective.
... They will probably be released in our country and go on welfare...
Did you misspell warfare?

I think it’s most likely both — we will be supporting them while they are putting together the plan to kill us.
